Is it not ok to discuss casual racism?

As well as unintentional racism
Seems a worthwhile discussion

Casual racism is still racism. It will get a member banned for a million years here.

Let's keep it to football, and pasties.

This, and cheese.

Steak and stilton pasties are boss

Expensive like, but boss.

Fair enough, boss. This place is well run, and although I've not seen it here, I've seen other outlets where people act in a way I'd consider inappropriate. Thought it was worth discussion, but it's probably out of touch for this forum.

Shame the same cannot be said for other forms of social media. More reports today of racist abuse of Paul Pogba after the wolves game last night.

Stop pathetic trolls - Man Utd's Maguire

Manchester United's Harry Maguire calls on social media companies to "stop these pathetic trolls" after team-mate Paul Pogba is subjected to racist abuse online.

Absolute disgrace.

Fair points--actual overt racism is terrible, and I believe most Scousers (from what I know of you lot) will have none of that. (as well as many blues who don't live on Mersey)

My intent is to discuss ignorance (unintentional racism) and apathy (casual racism) specific to the gorilla emoji Kean uses. No doubt this will come up again if he stays any time with the club.

I think most blues would understand and agree that making gorilla sounds or waving or throwing bananas at a player is very wrong. But just because he uses a gorilla emoji, or calls himself that or writes "unleash the gorilla" that doesn't mean its ok for others to repeat by writing or saying the same thing.

An example that hopefully most will understand and find agreeable: it's ok for anyone to like Chance's music (and you should, it's good), but just because he profusely uses the word "n*gga" that doesn't make it ok to repeat this word or any other offensive variant of the words negro/niger.

Of course, not everyone will necessarily agree with me. And this forum may not be the appropriate avenue for discussing it. And maybe it's such a small fraction of the supporters it shouldn't matter. I'll certainly defer to the @modz on this and not push it any more.

spot on. I agree.

There is another thread in World Football to discuss acts of racism, etc, which is slightly different from the question in this thread, which was answered some weeks ago

Not a fan.


Of pasties.

Pies and sausage rolls for me.

Racism is this era's skinny jeans, it's also a big part of the leaders of the US and the UK and people are supporting them vocally and in abundance.
Welcome to the future, armageddon wanted/needed.
